Form & Verdict
Sent off at 100-30 or shorter in her three runs; made a promising start when fifth at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last September but she's taken backward steps in two subsequent starts; still early days for this well-bred filly but she's needs improvement upped to 1m on handicap debut.

Unable to justify favouritism at Leicester (7f, good to soft) but showed some promise in finishing fifth of 12 and is evidently thought capable of better; sets the form standard in any case.

Yet to win this season but kept on for third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and only faded out of contention in closing stages at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month, having raced wide throughout; on a tempting mark now; might be the answer.

Latest of her three wins came at Newmarket (1m, good; made all) last October off a 3lb higher mark than today's; mostly below her best this year but she was a respectable third last time; will likely face competition for the lead from Tronido.

She has been hit and miss this year but it was her best effort when seeing out Salisbury's stiff mile strongly last month; had another off-day when well beaten here under a penalty one week later but that likely came too soon; new trip may unlock a bit more if she's on her A-game.
